While this is a popular stance and style for a tiger in a thangka in comparing the tracing to known thangka 'schools' it is likely that Mrs Bailey traced this piece from an 18th century thangka from the Palpung / Situ Panchen school. It is unclear if the thangka she used had been in the Bailey collection or if she had used another source. A good thangka to compare this tracing style to is that shown on the Himalayan Art Resource, which is in the Shelley and Donald Rubin Collection P1996.5.3 http://www.himalayanart.org/image.cfm/228.html
